Mar. 14; 1. XXVI. JESUS having ended this discourse, said to 2 his disciples, Ye know that two days hence cometh the passover. Then the Son of Man shall be 3 delivered up to be crucified. About this time the

chief priests and the Scribes, and the elders of the people, were convened in the palace of Caiaphas the 4 high priest, where they consulted how they might 5 take Jesus by surprize and kill him. They said, however, Not during the festival, lest there be a commotion among the people.

Now Jesus being in Bethany, in the house of Si7 mon [formerly] a leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster box of balsam, very precious, which she poured on his head, while he was at table. 8 His disciples observing it, said, with indignation, 9 Why this profusion? This balsam might have been sold for a great price, and the money given to the 10 poor. Jesus knowing it, said to them, Why trouble

ye the woman? She hath done me a good office. Deu. 5; 11. 11 For ye have the poor always amongst you, but me 12 ye have not always. For it is to embalm me that 13 she hath poured this balsam upon my body. Verily I say unto you, In what part soever of the world

now done shall be mentioned to her honour.

14 Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, Mar. 14: 10° 15 went to the chief priests, and said, What will ye 16 give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they weighed him thirty shekels", and from that time he watched an opportunity to deliver him up.

Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the Mar. 14; 12 disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where shall we 18 prepare for thee the paschal supper? He answered, Go into the city, to such a man, and tell him,

The teacher saith, My time is near; I must 'celebrate the passover at thy house with my 19 disciples.' And the disciples did as they were ordered, and prepared the passover.

In the evening he placed himself at table with the twelve; and while they were eating he said, 21 Verily I say unto you, that one of you will de22 liver me up. And they were extremely sorrow

ful, and began every one of them to say, Master, is 23 it I? He answering, said, The man whose hand is in the dish with mine, is he who betrayeth me. 24 The Son of man departeth in the manner foretold in Scripture concerning him; but woe unto that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed; it had been better for that man never to have been born. 25 Then Judas, who betrayed him, said also, Rabbi, is it I? Jesus answered, It is.

having given thanks, broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body. 27 Then he took the cup, and having given thanks,

gave it to them, saying, Drink hereof all of you; 28 for this is my blood, the blood of the new cove29 nant, shed for many, for the remission of sins. I assure you that I will not henceforth drink of the product of the vine, until the day when I shall drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 30 And after the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Then Jesus said to them, This night I shall prove a stumbling stone to you all; for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the flock will disperse." But after I am raised again, I will 33 go before you into Galilee. Peter, thereupon, said to him, Though thou shouldest prove a stumbling stone to them all; I never will be made to 34 stumble. Jesus answered, Verily I say unto thee,

that this very night, before the cock crow, thou 35 wilt thrice disown me. Peter replied, Although I should die with thee, I never will disown thee. And all the disciples said the same.

Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, Stay here, 37 while I go yonder and pray. And he took with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee; and being op38 pressed with grief, said to them, My soul is over

whelmed with a deadly anguish; abide here, and 39 watch with me. And going a little before, he threw

himself on his face, and praying, said, My Father,

remove this cup from me, if it be possible; never40 theless, not as I would, but as thou wilt. And he

returned to his disciples, and finding them asleep, said to Peter, Is it so, then, that ye could not keep 41 awake with me a single hour? Watch and pray,

that ye be not overcome by temptation; the spirit 42 indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. A second time he withdrew, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if there be no exemption for me; if I must 43 drink this cup, thy will be done. Upon his return, he again found them sleeping, for their eyes were 44 overpowered. Again, leaving them, he went and 45 prayed the third time, using the same words. Then he came back to his disciples, and said to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold the hour approacheth, when the Son of Man must be 46 delivered into the hands of sinners. Arise, let us be going; lo! he who betrayeth me is at hand.

Before he had done speaking, Judas, one of the Mar. 14; 43 twelve, appeared with a great multitude, armed ju. 18; 3. with swords and clubs, and sent by the chief priests 48 and elders of the people. Now the betrayer had 49 given them a sign, saying, The man whom I shall

kiss is he, secure him. And coming directly to 50 Jesus, he said, Hail Rabbi, and kissed him. Jesus answered, Friend, for what purpose comest thou? Then they advanced, and laying hands on Jesus 51 seized him. Upon this one of Jesus' company laying his hand upon his sword, drew it; and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. 52 Jesus said to him, Sheathe thy sword; for who- Gen. 9; 6.
